In the Meantime

"In the Meantime" is a song Rene wrote with his friend and coworker Michael Ferrari for LCBC and I'm really excited that I get to share it with you guys today. I'm a proud wife.

Below are the lyrics. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

In the morning 
In the evening 
In my doubting 
In my believing

In my winning 
In my losing 
I'm still choosing 
To believe in mean time  

Where I wander 
Wherever I roam 
Wherever you are 
Is where I'll make my home in the meantime  

Keep these eyes up 
Keep this head straight 
Life is like a game of hurry up and wait 
There's nothing I can do 
Except believe in you 
I don't know how you do it 
But you always pull me through  

In my waiting 
In my leaving 
In my asking 
In my receiving

Though I wonder 
What you're doing 
I'm still choosing 
To believe in the meantime  

Whatever eyes see 
Whatever hands can hold 
I'm trying to believe 
You see and hold my soul in the meantime

hummingbird

I love hummingbirds. 

But then again, have you ever met a soul who doesn't love hummingbirds? didn't think so.

They're fascinating and beautiful. And one of my favorite bands wrote a song called hummingbird. Give it a listen and enjoy this gem of a moment I caught at last weekend's wedding. 

We're Alive

I made a little something for you today to go along with this song that's meant a lot to me recently.

Listen and read.

ampersands and ikea

It's funny how we never realized how much of our furniture was not actually ours until we moved. 

So, we went to Ikea. Problem solved. 

We got some bookshelves (desperately needed. I adore being surrounded by books, but they were accumulating in unsightly piles and felt neglected.) & this sweet, super comfy grey chair. 

I love ampersands. And letters. And books, did I mention that one?

oh, hey... & a kitty.

p.s. Here's a treat for your ears.

Ingrid Michaelson, I've loved you since boys and girls.

Safe & Sound

And while we're on topic, I came across the most amazing song today.

Taylor Swift, plus the Civil Wars (whom I love), plus The Hunger Games. Throw those three together into a melodic, folky lullaby and you have one of my new favorites. Enjoy the gorgeous video...



Also, Taylor Swift in this video looks just as I imagined Prim while reading the books. I loved that.

a sunrise and a song

It was wonderful to see the sun the other day. It was also wonderful to be up early enough to see it rise. It's been a rough week full of wonderful moments. We miss home, our dearest friends and family. We miss our cat. But we have been exploring the city and falling in love with it. We've been meeting some really amazing people. I know that deep and lifelong friendships will be found in time and that the ones we've left behind will only grow stronger across the distance. 

It's a strange place to be, in such transition. I just have a sunrise and a song for you today.
